C#.NET Barcode Generation Control for Matrix (2D) barcode is completely developed in C#.NET with full integration into Microsoft .NET Framework. This barcode generator can be used to create two-dimensional barcode images for both ASP.NET and .NET WinForms application. Matrix Barcode Generator Component SDK for C# .NET is able to generate QR Code, PDF-417, Data Matrix, Micro QRCode and Micro PDF417.

As one of the most useful two-dimensional (2d) barcode symbology, QR Code is often used world-widely. This barcode type, abbreviated from Quick Response Code, has a unique feature. QR Code may be split into up to 16 small images, and the encodable original information can be reconstructed with those images at high speed.

Data Matrix code is a kind of 2D barcode types, which consists of black and white modules arranged in a square or rectangular pattern. It is able to encode text or numeric data information. And this barcode type is widely used in the field of defense, healthcare, business, finance, logistics management in Western countries. Nowadays, it is also applied to printed media, such as labels, letters, etc.

The "PDF" of PDF417 stands for Portable Data File. In fact, PDF-417 is a stacked linear barcode symbol format, which is used in various applications, such as primarily transport, identification cards, inventory management, etc. In addition, PDF-417 has the ability to meet the need to store and transfer large amounts of data securely and inexpensively.

Micro QRCode is can't encode more data or information than QR Code, while it can store data for each symbol size more efficiently. When the encoded information is increased, the size of Micro QRCode symbols does not significantly increase. This barcode type is very suitable for applications that require a smaller space and use smaller amounts of data, such as ID of printed circuit boards and electronics parts, etc.

MicroPDF417 is based on PDF417 standard, which may be utilized by applications that needs to encode a moderate amount of data in a 2D symbol. Of course, Micro PDF417 will be the sane choice when minimizing symbol size is a primary concern. And there are three compaction modes of Micro PDF417: Text compaction mode, Binary compaction mode, and Numeric compaction mode.
